“Where PSGS are appointed to act in conjunction with an existing body of trustees, we have found that they are quickly able to fit in well and gain the trust and respect of their co-trustees.

Pensions secretariat services

The level and scope of regulation a UK pension scheme must comply with makes the role of a pension trustee secretary an extremely important one.

The role of secretary to a trust-based pension scheme is equivalent to a company secretary, and comes with similar diverse legal and compliance requirements. To perform the trustee secretary role well today requires a combination of:

excellent organisational and project management skills

the ability to communicate effectively and diplomatically with many different parties, including pension trustees, scheme members and professional advisers

excellent working knowledge of pensions legal and regulatory compliance requirements

the ability to think strategically

proficiency in the use of technology

Finding this range of skills and abilities in-house is becoming harder to achieve. Combine this with the increasing importance of having an independent pension secretary who can help recognise and manage potential conflicts of interest, it’s no surprise many employers and pension trustees are now outsourcing the pension secretary role.
